"What I look at is none of your damn business!"

Xu Fan rolled his eyes as he said so.

"You!"

Clearly, Lin Xiao was enraged by Xu Fan's indifferent attitude. He glared fiercely at Xu Fan before turning to look at his teacher.

"Coach Chen, is this piece of trash really the best Zijing Middle School could send out?"

"Hehe, Lin Xiao, watch your language. How can you call someone trash? Even if they're useless, they still have a reason to exist, right?"

Coach Chen looked at the determination flickering in Lin Xiao's eyes, his own narrowing into slits as he smiled.

Hatred is the greatest source of strength. Now that Lin Xiao held a grudge against this bumpkin, he would surely be able to exert his strongest power later.

How strong was Lin Xiao?

Coach Chen couldn't help laughing out loud, anticipating the moment when he would see Zijing Middle School crushed under their feet.

"Lin Xiao, since Zijing Middle School sent him, you might as well have a good spar with him today. Remember, friendship first!"

Coach Chen patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder, feigning a solemn reminder before stepping back.

"Hmph, ****er, don't say I'm bullying you. I'll let you attack first, okay?"

Now with the ball in his hands, Lin Xiao confidently glanced at Xu Fan before tossing the ball to him.

That was his confidence; no matter who it was, under his defense, he believed that no one could score!

Xu Fan caught the ball passed to him and couldn't help but smirk.

He did want to attack first and then swiftly end this battle, but the problem was…

Dammit, I don't know how to play basketball…

He guessed that his lack of skills would be exposed with just one attempt. For the sake of Zijing Middle School's reputation, Xu Fan rolled his eyes and threw the ball right back to his opponent.

"Haha, you think I need you to let me? Take it, I'll let you attack first!"

"You!"

Lin Xiao caught the ball thrown by Xu Fan, glaring at him intensely!

"Fine, if you're asking for a beating, then I'll oblige!"

Lin Xiao snorted and then walked out beyond the free-throw line. Once Xu Fan followed, he began to dribble the ball.

"Hmph, ****er, today I'll show you, you're not even worthy to play basketball with me!"

It seemed that Xu Fan's earlier exchanges with Xia Xiaodie had indeed irritated Lin Xiao. His eyes were brimming with a fighting spirit!

Xu Fan observed this and narrowed his eyes, considering that this kid might not be so easy to handle…

Thump…

Thump…

Thump…

This one-on-one basketball game would determine Zijing Middle School's face all over Jinling. By this time, most of the school's students had rushed over, having heard the news.

Now the crowd filled the entire half-court, watching Xu Fan with bated breath, their heartbeats accelerating with the rhythm of Lin Xiao's dribbling.

Unlike an ordinary player, Lin Xiao was exceptionally calm while dribbling, like an experienced hunter waiting for his prey to make a mistake before striking to annihilate it.

"Damn it! Why hasn't he made his move yet?!"

This silent standoff was making the surrounding students impatient. They just wanted Lin Xiao to hurry up and attack; otherwise, their hearts couldn't take it.

Whoosh!

As if heeding the crowd's call, Lin Xiao finally made his move in the blink of an eye!

Fast as the wind! Like a cheetah with the ball, he swiftly charged towards Xu Fan's left side!

This unexpectedly rapid speed took everyone by surprise. As they watched Lin Xiao rush towards the basket, they felt their hearts leap into their throats!

"Don't panic! Xu Fan is keeping up!"

But the very next second, they noticed that Xu Fan wasn't just standing by!

Even though Lin Xiao's break was incredibly fast, Xu Fan was still sturdily blocking him!

The crowd heaved a sigh of relief. Some students, who had seen Xu Fan's game with Zhou Xiaoshuai a few days earlier, started to chastise themselves.

They thought, why worry? How significant could Lin Xiao be against a freak like Xu Fan?

"Oh no!"

Just then, an exclamation burst from the crowd! Hearing it, everyone quickly turned their gaze to the court, only to see Lin Xiao, who had been charging forward, suddenly stop dead in his tracks, tip on his toes, and leap into the air!

A high-arching jump shot!

No one was expecting this move, not even Xu Fan, who realized too late to block it.

The basketball traced a perfect parabola through the air, swooshing through the net!

"What's the matter? Stunned?"

This perfect shot left Lin Xiao looking smugly at Xu Fan as he landed.

You should know he was a promising player eyed by the provincial team. This sudden stop and jump shot was his signature move.

How could an inexperienced Xu Fan possibly stop him?

Lin Xiao snorted disdainfully at Xu Fan, thinking to himself, this punk? He'd probably never be able to stop my signature move in his lifetime!

"Kid, you're such trash. What makes you think you can talk to Xiaodie? Can you beat me? Let me tell you, next time, keep your damn eyes off Xiaodie, got it?"

After giving Xu Fan a cold glance, Lin Xiao turned to look over at the students and staff from Zijing Middle School.

"Is this the level Zijing Middle School has? How dare you even think of joining the high school league? What a joke!"
